What Strategic Finance Did for a $75M Manufacturing Company
What Strategic Finance Did for a $75M Manufacturing Company
A $75M manufacturing company was approaching a major inflection point.
To support continued expansion, the CEO needed to raise $20 million in funding, buy out a long-time shareholder, and double production capacity. From the outside, the company appeared well-positioned: strong revenue, healthy margins, and a robust customer pipeline.
But internally, planning was falling apart.
Although the business was scaling, its financial infrastructure was stuck. The budget was static. Reporting processes were manual, delayed, and purely backward-looking. Forecasting consisted of Excel files built on last year’s numbers stretched across dozens of tabs, with no link to strategy, no alignment to capital requirements, and no real insight into tradeoffs.
Every time leadership tried to make a high-stakes move, timing an investment, adjusting headcount, or evaluating debt, the finance team had to start from scratch.
And they kept hitting the same wall.
The finance team lacked the tools, capacity, and experience to support strategic decisions. They were equipped to manage accounting and compliance, not to build forward-looking, capital-driven plans. They couldn’t create a real forecasting system. They couldn’t assess capital availability or structure. And they couldn’t model or monitor the company's financial trajectory with confidence.
The business was accelerating. But the planning function was still stuck in the rearview mirror.
That’s when the CEO brought in Financiario.
Within just one week, Financiario delivered a fully integrated 5-year financial model, live, automated, and engineered around the company’s strategy. The system connected every operational driver to capital decisions: how to fund growth, when to deploy cash, what level of risk the business could carry, and which tradeoffs were viable.
For the first time, the leadership team could stop reacting and start proactively shaping the future.
They tested scenarios. Adjusted assumptions. Modeled outcomes. And aligned every decision to the bigger picture.
It changed everything.
Financiario didn’t just deliver tools, it delivered leverage.
Not just financial leverage, but strategic leverage: the ability to move early, make decisions with confidence, and operate with clear foresight across every line of business.
Most finance functions report on the past.
Financiario built a system that engineered the future.
